nath,

All I care about is that a consensus is reached. And even then I don't care that much - I am more a product of Atari and Intellivision. I think Gobias got a huge hard-on about the bracket idea and just ran with it in a very short period of time without taking a deep breath and consulting the other 150 people who posted in that thread much less you, who clearly exhibited the most in-depth knowledge and interest in NES titles.

One thing: I'd be annoyed if a previously existing title like Marble Madness won. That game came out in arcades at least a couple if not several years before the NES was released. Same thing with a lot of other titles. NES developers produced a TON of unique games for their console, it would be much better if an original title won.

You left out the biggest reason. Marble Madness is an only ok game with no plot and little replay value. It's fun but not to play for hours like some of these games.

Er...plot is something that pre-rendered cut-scene RPG fanboys are supposed to be concerned with. It does not apply to NES games, and there's nothing wrong with that.
